Yes. After skimming the information with a hand-held reader, it would be possible to duplicate the signal and then pose as the chipped individual for criminal purposes. Two separate security researchers, Jonathan Westhues (in 2006)77 and Adam Laurie (in 2007)78, have demonstrated this capability in public.
